As a first-generation student at Western Kentucky University, I am pursuing a Bachelor of Arts, double-majoring in journalism and visual journalism photography with a concentration in photography and minoring in professional writing.

 

While a full-time student, I also work at Talisman as the executive editor, an award-winning collegiate lifestyle and culture website and magazine.

 

Additionally, I have also completed an internship as a writer through The Borgen Project, a nonprofit organization focused on reducing global poverty.

 

Through my time at college, I have expanded my skills and knowledge in various journalistic techniques. My skills include but are not limited to copy editing, reporting, writing, interviewing, portrait photography, feature photography, news writing, feature writing and more.​
